Some people don't like Kody Brown but would he really leave his whole family behind?

Kody Brown and his wives Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn have, even if we include the fact that they're on a reality show, been through their fair share of drama. But this latest rumor promises to send even the most dedicated Sister Wives fan over the edge. According to Hollywood Life, Kody Brown is apparently setting up to divorce his wives — all four of them — and marry two new ones. Sorry, what?!

Family friend Kendra Pollard, who really doesn't seem like much of a friend at all, has spilled some very surprising-if-true gossip. "Kody doesn’t want to keep dealing with his current wives," she said. "They haven’t been supportive of him, so Kody has planned the ultimate revenge." Life & Style even claims that they've obtained texts between Brown and longtime family friend Amber, no last name included, where she tells a friend that Kody is "on the wife topic again."

As for the supposed second new wife, the long-rumored courtship between Kody Brown and family nanny Mindy Jessop rears its ugly head. Last we heard, Jessop was clearly reaffirming her singlehood.

Brown is only legally married to Robyn, so a divorce from Christine, Janelle and Meri wouldn't be a total legal nightmare. But with 18 children, we'd be truly wowed if he leaves this family behind to start over with two new women. Unfortunately, it would make for great TV.
